Introduction to Pharmacology (3) Su, F, Sp Introdudory pharmacology course which covers pharmacological prindples induding modes of action, uses, modes of excretion, and patient side effeds of various drug dasses. The drugs are presented in a "system approach" with emphasis on medications utilized in diagnosing and treating diseases assodated with the various body systems. Class format includes a 3 hour lecture dass with students partidpating in oral presentations and case studies. Students taking the 3240 course for upper division will also be required to write a 10 page paper on an application of pharmacological prindple applied to a drug class. Students taking HTHS 2240 cannot take HTHS 3240 for credit. Recommended Prerequisites: HTHS 1101, HTHS LSI 110 and HTHS 1111. HTHS 2830.
